Jacinda’s first promise broken

Newshub reports:

The first promise Jacinda Ardern made as Labour leader looks to have gone up in smoke.
During her first big public outing as leader during the election, she promised rail for all – including a line from the Auckland waterfront to Dominion Rd to Mount Roskill, all to be completed by 2021.

And …

On Wednesday, Transport Minister Phil Twyford admitted the Government would fail to build light rail down Dominion Rd by 2021. Instead, he only expects work to start on it next year.
However the Government isn’t counting it as a broken promise.
Mr Twyford’s defence is that promises made by Jacinda Ardern as Labour leader are completely different from promises made by Jacinda Ardern as Prime Minister.

So basically their entire manifesto is null and void with that reasoning.
